Vigorous Old Age
Calo, the celebrated censor of Rome, was 80 years old before
he began to learn Greek, and it has been insinuated that at that
advanced age he undertook the study only through a desire to
, avoid awkward contretemps in the next life, for, as Sir Philip Sid
ney suggests, he feared that Pluto, the ruler of Hades, did not
understand Latin. The old man probably had more intelligible
and practical reasons, but, whatever his motive,. he is always con
sidered as the stock illustration of the truth of the old adage "it
is never too late to mend."
Cato, however, will have to look to his laurels, or he may lose
them to denizens of a country which was unknown to the Uoman
world and did not come into the ken of the nations of Europe for
several centuries after the rugged old censor was stopped by death
from pleading, in season and out of season, for the destruction of
.Carthage,. In n university of the West a woman of 72 is at the
present moment enrolled as a student in a belated but earnest ef-
fort to acquire that knowledge from which circumstances barred
her at any earlier stage of her career, but even she is outdone
by the undergraduate of 81 who is a candidate for the baccalaur
eate in engineering at Kansas university and hopes to receive his
jSheepskin next June.' It appears that this particular enthusiast
is now resuming studies which he interrupted 50 years ago and
even then he was of maturer age than is usually to be found in
undergraduate ranks. His perseverance is certainly to be
commended. .
These two instances stand out prominently because of the
peculiarities attending them, but, of course, the world is full of
accomplishments wrought by men and women of advanced years. j
Look at the average run of the ages of the great generals on each
side in the recent war. Look at what the soptuagenarion llalfour
did for his country in her hour of peril. Or take the case of Daniel
Defoe, who was in his sixtieth year when he produced "Robinson
Crusoe,' which has been a perennial delight to successive genera
tions of readers for more than 200 years. . Similarly Richardson
was more than 00 before he even thought of writing "Pamela"
and thereby starting the modem novel on its checkered course.
Verily the race is not always to the swift, nor do all the palms in
vuriably go to the young. '

A motion picture director is looking for the homliest girl in
town and a nice fat purse is awaiting her when she is found. It
will be interesting to observe the large crowds of aspirants who
will assemble'outside his office. Generally when the word is pass
ed around that an' opportunity' 1s awaiting some unknown in the
world of films the street company has to put on extra cars to Hol
lywood to handle the crush. Rut if this director has an applicant,
it will be because feminine nature has. undergone a rapid change
very recently.
As if the requirement of ugliness were not sufficient, he(speci
fies that the damsel should be at least 80 years of age or more.
The idea of admitting to SO years is peculiarly repugnant lo any
female person, but to none is it more abhorrent than those seek
ing or having careers in the film. Every one knows that cinema
queens are always 17 years old when they first achieve distinction.
That is the favored age of lilnidoni, and the lady will unblushingly
look you in the eye and recount her past experiences extending
ever a protracted period of years and wind up with the mforamtion
that she has "only but just" celebrated her seventeenth birthday.
Sometimes those who have been public favorites for many
years move up to 20, but never beyond this mark.

A Nation-Wide Evil
hen the news reaches London editors that Kentucky univer
sity students have been asked by their president to "check" their
liieaims, turnin; them in to the authorities and ",HU"; receipts
in exchange, theie will ensue some interestiii"; comments on life
and customs in wildest America. The educational leaders of Ken
tucky have no wish to "tench the young idea how to shoot" in this
literal manner and their ban on the possession of lethal weapons
is the direct result of a recent shootine; tragedy in which a student
and a night watchman figured.
Foreign commentators will not be justified in regarding the
carrying of pistols by college students as a common custom in this
country, for Kentuckians are especially prone to this habit, but
they are warranted in criticizing this country for permitting any
person who has the price to go about with these death-dealing
implements. Oanting that the evil is more rife in Kentucky, the
region of family feuds, and in a few other states than in the rest
of the I'nion, the fact remains that this is about the only great
civilized country wheie there is no general ollicial regulation of
pistol-carrying. u y
It is lather .surprising to find some opponents of the proposal
to restrict the carrying of deadly weapons appealing to the federal
constitution for support. They are citing the provision that "the
right of the people to keep ami bear aims shall not be infringed."
They do not quote the .significant pi reeding words, "A well reg
ulated militia being lucessaiy lo the security of a free state,"
'vhich explains the reason for the guarantee. It grants no right
to the private individual to go about armed.
In view of the fact that !'o por cent of the homicides in thi
country are committed through the use of pistols, legislative ac
tion in this matter cannot In? must longer delayed.
